Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

Parental obesity refers to obesity-related to parents during the pregnancy stage. If the mother is obese during the maternity time, then the child is going to be affected after the birth. It is common for many children to get such obesity issues, which becomes difficult at times to deal with. If treated on time, then a positive result is expected. A routine and determined lifestyle modification can be followed to reduce obesity issues. a daily dose of physical activity and a proper diet rich in protein, fewer carbohydrates, and no fat should be included. Such obesity leads to some serious health complications in the future. So, you can start with some non-weight-bearing activities, followed by pre and post-workout meals. Keep a check on the vitals with regular checkups. Hydration and some exercise modifications will give you good results.

I hope I have answered your question.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards.
